THE THEATBE WAS CROWDED
A Lounthy Proirrnm Wns Itendored In
a Manner Very .Cretlltnblo to
tlio GrndiiHtos nud tho
Iusti-uotors.
The seventeenth annual commencement
of the Shenandoah High school was held
In Forguson's theatre last night. The at
tendance ot fiieuds and relatives of the
graduates was very large, the full capaoity
of the theatre being taxed. The stago pre
sented an excellent appoaranee. At the
hack and ceutro of the stage there was a
large mound of beautiful flowers ll.inked
by lovely plants. Tho boxes at each side
of tho stago were decorated with excellent
specimens of the crayon work that is d6no
in the High school's senior class. The
boxes were occupied by school teachers.
Seats formed In a large semi-circle on the
stage wore occupied by the graduates, and
members of tho School Board occupied
seats on the left of the stage. Superintendent
Whltaker was seated at the right of the
stage and directed the exercises. Principal
Cooper occupied n seat near him.
The exercises wero of a very interesting
character and each graduate retired amid
hearty applause accorded by the specta
tors. The efforts were very creditable and
showed the results of the excellent train
ing the High school affords. All the lit
erary selections were gems and the atten
tive audience must have gleaned from them
thoughts that will be cherished while
memory lasts, A discussion on an up-to-date
theme, gold and silver, was one of the
features of the program and it was very
intelligently handled by both sides. The,
program :

tion," MIs3 Lilian M. Llewellyn; essay,

cess," Miss Lizzie F. North; valedictory
oration, "Esse quam videri," James D.
Creary.
The program was not as long as that of
tho preceding evening, yet the hour of
closing was lato and the formality of hav
ing members of tho School Board make re
marks at the close of the exercises was
dispensed with. Mr. Daniel Ogdeu, the
handsome president of the board, pre
sented the diplomas to the graduates with
admirable grace and dignity and the ex
ercises closed with a chorus "Parting
Song" by the class. As a whole the com
mencement compared very favorably with
the successful efforts of past years and the
graduates and those to whom they are In
debted for their tuition and training can
reoall tho event with pride.
The High school quartette Is deserving
of special mention. The singing was of an
excellent order nud the audience was so
much delighted with it that the second
selection was accorded an encore and tho
third was given two.

THE DOG QUESTION REVIVED
Lottor From n Citizen Suowlncr tho
Danger of Unvlutr Dors ho Un
muzzled nud Cattle lionm
luir tho Streets.
The ravages of a mad dog at Mahanoy
City one day this week 1ms again stirred
up the people of this town on tho question
of muzzling dogs. During the past two
days tho 1Ii:i:ald has been repeatedly re
quested to ask tho Borough Council why
the ordinances nre not uuiorced. Among
the requests lu writing is the following
letter received yesterday :
Eu. Hkiiald: Will you kindly grant me
space in your paper, which advocates tho
public welfare, to ask why it is that our
Borough Council aud other executive offi
cers of the borough are so careless In en
forcing the borough ordinances as to the
muzzling of dogs durlug the summer. A
mad dog scare was created a few days ago
lu Mahanoy City and several people aud
animals bitten with what dangerous re
sults remains to be recorded. In our own
town several have been bitten whilst
traveling the streets and today a mad cow
is said to have died on West Coal street, in
the borough limits. The people are ap
pealing to the Board of Health to proveut
the visitation of hydrophobia wheu it is
well known that a member of the board
made an earnest appeal to Council three
months ago to have the dogs kept off the
streets, and yet nothing has beeu done. Is
it not a shame to have our town overrun
with dogs, hogs aud other animals ?
Pho Bono Puhlico.
Shenandoah, June HI.
The Herald has repeatedly stated, and
the statement remains good today, that the
ordinances of the borough are not en
forced because the officials upon whom the
duty falls seem wholly indifferent aud the
Borough Council does not seem inclined to
enforce the ordinances which provide a
meaus for compelling the officials to do
their duty, or pay for their neglect.
A member of the Board of Health did
urge Council to rid the town of worthless
curs aud have muzzled those having
owners; and on the same night the Council
gavo the High Constable peremptory in
structions to enforce the ordinance against
unmuzzled dogs and stray swine and cattle.
The High Constable has not taken
a step to obey the Instructions, Ho stated
at tho time that he had no pound in which
to placo the animals roaming at large, but
said he would ask Council to provide a
place. This he has failed to do. He
claims to be too old to act as dog catcher
and cannot pay men out of his own pocket
to do tho work, but fails to go before Couu-
cil and ask that provision be made, and
allows the ordinances to remain practically
dead.
The High .Constable is a quiet, inoffen
sive old geutlomau, who has made many
friends wbilo In office, but if ho does not
give more attention to his duty than he
has the past few months he will get over
head and ears In disrepute. He gets a
salary of ?35 and, ns far as returns go,
does nothing for the money. This will not
suit nny community, especially when tho
salary is drawn regularly every month and
the official Ignores the appeals of the
people for action in an emergency. It is
hoped the communication of "Pro Bono
Publico" will bo recognized by the Bor
ough Council.
